Kinn, use detail brushes!

The longest compile phase should now always be light.

Yes there are complaints that my maps don't run on everyone's computer. But mine cost 200 quid and runs them all at 30+ 

 

Kinn, use detail brushes!

Word up, yeah I use detail. It'll be fine, I just called it a vis-mulcher to imply that its layout is somewhat...not very retro. 

 

Really cool, very appropriate for the future Quake world, got a burly and gritty look. 

Got my inspiration from looking at references from command and conquer. I intend on a couple more prefab vehicles to round out the base... The level is fairly complete in terms of geometry tbh.

Not really a 'beta' I guess since I'm done with it barring game-breaking bugs that need fixing, but otherwise yeah I'm pooped on it. :( 

I found a texture flat of a vehicle from C&C, basically put it into Quake... Will probably need to modify the texture if I am to use it.

Ha! Brilliant 5th ... 

is Quaketastic down? The image doesn't load ;( 

Should work now? I dunno, I wrote over the original file.

actually works surprisingly well 

I just need to remove the GDI markings and put my own stamp on it. Probably will use the quake skull markings or whatever is normally used in the base maps. I have Speedy's signature all over my map. I know it's his texture set but it's kind of immersion breaking... obviously he'll get readme credits and stuff. 

It's a shame I'm not a better texture artist, I would love a range of vehicle prefabs that can be added to base maps. 

texturing can be a hard job.

Still using the Quake palette. 

absolutely love that, great job! What C&C game is that? So you took the texture and made the model yourself? 

starbuck... I just googled "c&c vehicles" and someone had the flat texture map, so I converted it to the quake palette (actually zero hassle, most of the colour was retained), and built the thing with brushes.

I haven't made anything proper in a model program since I was in college, I need to learn how to do that stuff at some point. 

ah cool, not a stressful process then! Definitely enjoy the result though. Wonder if there's more stuff from that universe that'd fit in quake, quite a nice look that I we don't normally see :) 

C&C has the right amount of gritty chunky design that can be converted to quake. The tank I made was based on the GDI Predator tank from Generals, although I didn't have any textures to work with on that. It's all brushwork and whatever stock textures that fit.

There's some definite vehicles I want to see. I would love a big blimp, a submarine and some kind of futuristic chinook or jet.

I have some ideas in my head for those. I think it would be nice to utilise AD's extra functions, like a futuristic plane could hover like a harrier jet (this could be done with func_bob quite nice I think). And it would be cool to use them in some kind of set piece, maybe have the tank be used as an objective where you blow a hole in a wall to progress? 

When can I get my filthy hands on Retroquad (alpha, beta...)? 

There's still a lot of work to do, so I can't predict it yet.

I want it to be actually usable, not just a gimmicky engine. And I'm also simultaneously developing a whole game on top of it.
